Choosing The Best Self Tanner For Each Skin

By Haywood Hunter

Skin tanners come in different varieties which might be confusing to first time buyers. The choice of the best self tanner depends on your expectations from the process and your type of skin. Knowledge of skin type is important since different persons react in unique ways. Manufacturers give clear instructions on how to use particular products. The instructions should be followed at all times.

Tanners are specific for use on oily, sensitive, normal or dry skin. It is paramount to know your type of skin and choose the most appropriate product. Interchanging these products results in irritation and allergies that damage skins. The damage could be permanent.

Manufacturers provide tanners that guarantee particular results. There resulting tone after application may be dark, medium or very dark. Your expectations should be clear so that you select the best product for you.

Tanners are available in such forms as lotions, creams, wipes and sprays. The choice of any one among these forms is guided by the advantages it presents. Sprays give instant results but lotions are enriched to offer conditioning and such other aspects as sunscreen Wipes are used to offer a temporary tan.

Experts have platforms where they analyze the tanners available in the market. The websites offer an objective analysis of the pros and cons based on experiments and information gathered from market surveys. Manufacturers do not influence expert opinion which makes it more reliable.

First hand experiences by customers are available from reviews left behind after using a product. These reviews are objective and talk about certain aspects of the product. These aspects include odor, quality of tan, how it spreads and time taken to dry.

The face is considered more sensitive than other areas and therefore given special attention. Specific products are used to keep it in top shape because it determines your general appearance. It lowers and raises your self esteem and would be disastrous if any damage happens to it. Such products are clearly labeled to be used on the face.

A single application works for some products while several layers are required in other instances. Manufacturers clearly indicate the layers needed to achieve good results. Others take the entire night to tan while others are instant. The advantages vary from on product to the other.

Consumers are interested in minor details like duration of the tan on the skin and the odor. The odor is concealed through blending with such varieties as strawberry, vanilla, mint and citrus. It is important that tanners do not stain bed sheets or cloths. High quality tanners fade off evenly without leaving patches or spots on the skin.

Packaging offers convenience with different sizes and shapes for containers. Lotion bottles come with pumps to allow you draw up to the last drop while tubes are easy to squeeze. The sprays offer a consistent tan without irritating the skin. Value for money is guaranteed through a combination of properties.

How to Audition As Kayla, a Beauty Queen Who Knows a Thing or Two About Weight Loss

Finding a good monologue can be a task. Use this monologue as an audition piece, as a way to practice acting on a regular basis, and as an instrument to add to your arsenal of tools used by actors. Play the role of Kayla, a beauty queen who made it to the top ten but was eliminated from the top five contestants in the fictional Miss U. S. of A. pageant. This monologue tells her surprisingly insightful, often humorous and sometimes tragic story.

The setting is backstage at the Miss U. S. of A. pageant.

As the lights come up, Kayla, a beauty queen who made it to the top ten, but was eliminated from the top five, appears. She is not a caricature of a beauty queen but a living, breathing, intelligent and multifaceted woman. She smiles. Waves. Takes a deep breath. And tells her story.

KAYLA

Before being crowned Miss Texas, U. S. of A. I lost one hundred and eighty-nine pounds! I've been fat my whole life! Luckily I don't have a medical condition like a thyroid problem. Obesity does not run in my family. I simply had a mother who fed me pork rinds and milk shakes for breakfast. When the kids at school called me, "Kayla the Whale-a," mama helped me drown my sorrows in pound cake with extra chocolate sauce. But the pageantry changed everything. Once I saw myself in a bathing suit on television, it was easy to swap Twinkies for a treadmill. Now I am the founder of a motivational program entitled, "Freeing the Fatso Within." "Kayla the Whale-a" was not my only label in grade school. Being that I dared to have an opinion I was also dubbed, "loud-mouthed fatso." It doesn't have to be clever to be cruel. Not only was I overweight, but I lived in a trailer park. And my family was on welfare. Consequently, I earned additional labels like lazy and stupid. My daddy lost his job when his plant moved to Mexico. Mama worked in a bakery that was attached to a liquor store. Food items were free. You try planning a menu for five children with food from a bakery and a liquor store. But it wasn't an issue for long because a WalMart moved in across the street forcing the bakery to close down. My brother thought he'd help out by joining the Marines. He was killed in Afghanistan. By friendly fire. You might say my family was living the American nightmare. I developed quite an opinion about the system in which we live. But no one cared about my opinion. Then I saw that Miss Burnet, Texas was going to speak at fifty-six public engagements during her reign. I realized that the pageantry was the only accessible venue for me to nurture my voice. All I had to do was lose the weight. It was truly amazing. In one year I went from being a loud-mouth fatso to a well-spoken beauty -- without changing one single word. As a beauty candidate I made over two thousand public appearances. No one tired of the Kayla-the-Whalea story. In my travels, I was astounded by the number of people who had their own tales of childhood labels. Yet no one ever bragged about being a bully. How could this be? We can't all be victims. Then I remembered my own young attempts at retaliation. I used to call evil Monica Snyder "Treasure" on account of her sunken chest. Today, that woman is probably paying a plastic surgeon for her new, super-sized enhancements. My motivational program, "Freeing the Fatso Within" has nothing to do with losing weight. It's about realizing that we are all simply running from our childhood labels. No matter how much weight I lose, I will always be Kayla-the-Whale-a. When I won the junior high science fair, everyone attacked my appearance. When I became a beauty queen, they crucified my mind. Consequently, I learned that labels are the fuel of empowerment. How else could a fat, lazy, stupid, sucking-the-system-dry, trailer- park-trash kid amount to anything? Daddy used to call my sister and I his dream girls. I'd say that this label is the one that best describes the woman I am today.

She smiles. Waves. And leaves the stage.
